Charles Munch was the opposite of the “intellectual” school of French conductors, as embodied by Pierre Boulez. He was a totally spontaneous artist, which made him the great Berlioz conductor of our time and literally anything could happen when he was on the podium. As a result, his Ravel is not the kind of hyper-precise, calculated interpretation that many fans of the composer expect. But that's why his recording is so damn exciting. The pieces are cleverly chosen; they are the composer's most extroverted works, and Munch pulls out all the stops in his performances. A fantastic recording and a great memento of a unique artist!
